The Swansea City chairman, Huw Jenkins, has set his sights on securing the futures of several key players after Andrea Orlandi and Angel Rangel agreed contract extensions.

The former Barcelona playmaker Orlandi, 26, yesterday signed a one-year contract extension until 2013, following his compatriot Rangel, who agreed a three-year deal last week.

The re-signings of the Spanish pair have boosted the club in the wake of the departures of Darren Pratley and Dorus de Vries on free transfers and Jenkins says, with the money secured by promotion to the Premier League, other players, including Joe Allen and Nathan Dyer, are next in line.
